Overview of Gene Research
CXCR5, a G-protein coupled receptor, binds to its ligand CXCL13, building a crucial signaling network. This interaction is involved in lymphoid neogenesis, lymphoid organization, and immune responses [1,2]. The CXCL13/CXCR5 axis also contributes to the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, and cancers [1-3].
In a mouse model of sepsis-associated encephalopathy, knocking out CXCR5 enhanced autophagy and partially reversed cognitive deficits, suggesting that CXCR5 may act via the p38MAPK/NF-κB/STAT3 signaling pathway to inhibit hippocampal autophagy during sepsis, contributing to cognitive dysfunction [4]. In the spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model of neuropathic pain, CXCR5 expression induced by SNL was required for SNL-induced activation of spinal astrocytes and microglia, and neuropathic pain was abrogated in Cxcr5-/-mice, indicating CXCR5's role in neuropathic pain [3].
In conclusion, CXCR5 is essential in multiple biological processes and disease conditions. Gene knockout mouse models have revealed its role in cognitive dysfunction in sepsis-associated encephalopathy and neuropathic pain. These findings contribute to understanding the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and may provide potential therapeutic targets related to CXCR5 [3,4].
